Participant surveys were conducted to gather demographic information, as well as feedback on: satisfaction with arts experiences; relevance of content to the participants lives; and previous arts experiences. Personal interviews were also conducted to gather more detailed feedback on the impact of the activities on the participants’ lives. 2: The project engaged Latine elders and youth in arts residencies. Participants developed new skills and increased their self-esteem. Surveys and interviews with participants were used to document participants past experiences with the arts. All CTG participants who attended COCOS thought the performance was great.
